OPERATION
Once switched on, the ‘HV OFF / RESET’ button must be pressed to reset any fault
latches and the light behind the ‘Manual Key’ button is flashing in sequence with the key
input signal. The output power can now be selected by using the two rotary switches as
shown in the accompanying photographs. The two switches select a combination of
capacitor settings (labelled 1
– 12) and voltage settings (labelled LO, MED and HI) so
the operator can choose the power setting required for the job in hand. Please see next
section. Once the appropriate setti
ng has been made, the ‘HV ON’ button can be
pressed whilst simultaneously turning the ‘HV Enable’ keyswitch clockwise.
A series of up to 5 clicks will be heard depending on the energy selected as the relays
switch in circuit. Once these relays have engaged, the high voltage is enabled.
If the 1-9 power level switch is moved or if the HV off/reset button is pressed, the unit will
shut down safely. In an emergency, the red ‘STOP’ button can be pressed.
The maximum repetition rate is governed by
the charge rate (2800 Joules per second) and
the amount of capacitance selected. For
example, at 300J / shot the CSP-S models
will run at 5 PPS. At 6000J the CSP-S 6000
will operate at 0.33 pulse per second, with a
little in reserve.
